Karhoo – The new cab comparison app

A new ride-hailing app has launched in London and is set to roll out in the UK’s other cities as well as internationally in New York and Singapore.

The App is looking to act as an open platform which will present customers with a range of prices, vehicles and estimated arrival times so you can browse your options and make a more informed decision. One feature that will top its rivals is the option to pre-book a journey and it will not add surge pricing.

Karhoo will allow most companies to sign up to the app to offer services which includes black cabs, minicab and executive cars however Uber will be excluded from the app.

The app has already had big branded companies such as Addison Lee and small firms like Mornington Cars sign up their fleet. So far they claim to have 80,000 drivers in the UK with 30,000 of those being in London however they claim this figure should rapidly increase by the end of the year as people are ‘flocking’ to sign up.

Karhoo is currently the only app on the market which allows you to search for a range of vehicles such as Black cab, minicab and executive cars in one place with a direct comparison on prices which it feels will put it above the other apps on the market such as Hailo, Gett and Kabee.

A big difference they will be keen to pride themselves on is that Karhoo use fleets of professional drivers compared to Uber whose drivers do not require much experience.
